I’ve sewn forever and have only been quilting 4 years. I’m more of an art quilt quilter, however I’ve told myself that I need to challenge myself with new things. Well let me tell you this sure has been a challenge. My points by no means are prefect and the sizes well they aren’t prefect either but that’s ok I’m having fun. These are the blocks that I’ve done so far. The fabrics are various Tula Pink, V and Co ombre with gold dots, and Jane Sassaman hand dyed.

cjyork OFFLINE Posts: 8 Thank you received: 1	Having trouble determining what size to square up half square triangles. ie. Basket E calls for 2 3/8. What oversize size do I acutally cut? and then what size to square up to?

HugboyJim OFFLINE Posts: 5 Thank you received: 48	Having fun adding to my collection. Using up my hand-dyes. Notice on the yellow basket I had to paint on polka dots to get better contrast. Also, I pieced the checkerboard for the body of the orange basket. Attachments: E1B75E4C-5...1A0.jpeg (33KB)

I just want to say how much I love these projects and how much I've learned. I've had some success posting photos of my work for the Kaffe project, I've not had a very easy time for this project. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did want to mention to Alex that I love her pinning method for matching points, and I discovered an easy trick that lets you remove the alignment pin before sewing. I just finished a Storm at Sea wall hanging and every point was perfect (except maybe one or maybe two, but they were close enough)! After I aligned the points and put the pins in !/16th of an inch on either side, like you said, I carefully remove pin and immediately use the QS purple pen to place a dot in the hole where the pin came out, then sew on the right edge of the purple dot. Love this method! Before this I rarely got my points right.
